Instructions

1
Combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, green onions, cornstarch, and egg white in a bowl. Mix vigorously in one direction for 2 minutes until the mixture becomes sticky and cohesive — this develops the protein structure.
2
Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges with water. Fold into a triangle, pressing firmly to seal. Bring the two bottom corners together and pinch securely. Set completed wontons on a floured plate.
3
Heat broth with sliced ginger over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add soy sauce and sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning.
4
Bring a separate large pot of water to a boil. Cook wontons in batches for 4–5 minutes until they float to the surface and the filling is cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon (do not cook in the broth — it clouds it). Divide wontons into bowls, ladle hot broth over top, and add blanched bok choy and green onions.
